Some areas may become inappropriate(lethal...) for housing. A lot of people may have to be moved, not to mention the amount of new housing to build.

Some states should have a lot of spare housing and keep it available... because because once they need it in a kind of urgent matter...

As long as housing is considered a financial instrument and problems like NIMBY and overly restrictive zoning continue to persist, none of this will happen.

Or housing can be modified to tolerate the occasional flood. Lives can be saved through better prediction and quick evacuation. The economic impact of regular repair and recovery may be less than abandoning such areas.
